elena denisova was born in moscow and, as a young child, was fascinated by jascha heifetz’s expressive playing and versatility of tone; she loved listening to his records over and over in her childhood home. her parents supported this highly sensitive talent, and she recorded her first lp, wieniawski’s violin concerto no.2, while still a pupil at the music school of the moscow tchaikovsky conservatory. highly influential among her teachers were two of david oistrach’s most renowned 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , valery klimov and later oleg kagan at the moscow tchaikovsky conservatory, which ranks as the foremost institution for russia’s most talented musicians. she graduated with distinction. she has won many violin competitions and initially was active as a soloist and chamber musician in the former ussr â€" for example as soloist of the moscow state philharmonic and first violinist of the moscow national quartet.  in 1990 she extended her concert performances to western europe, and found a second home in austria. elena denisova has been an austrian citizen since 1992.  in austria she founded the Ã-sterreichische gustav mahler vereinigung, the gustav mahler ensemble and the classic etcetera musikvereinigung. she is also artistic director of the carinthian-based woerthersee classics festival, which she founded in 2002 and which has already gained a strong international reputation.

born in moscow, alexei kornienko began music lessons at the age of five, studied at the tchaikovsky conservatory in moscow (piano class zak) and in charkow (conducting class jordania), and was prize-winner at the international rachmaninoff piano competition in moscow. since his move to austria in 1990 he has made his name as a respected competition juror as well as a teacher at the kärtner landeskonservatorium (carinthian state conservatory). he is co-founder of the gustav mahler ensemble and a member of the bösendorfer artistic club.  kornienko divides his career between the piano and the conductor’s podium. together with his wife, acclaimed violinist elena denisova, he is also active in the rediscovery of forgotten treasures of classical-romantic period chamber music: musik um 1900, their cd "vienna 1900" (gramola vienna) of works by robert fuchs, pavel singer and alexander von zemlinsky, brought them international success.  kornienko stands out as an extraordinarily dynamic interpreter of the works of beethoven and brahms, but also of the modern, and his ability to master highly challenging works ensures his position as a much sought-after conductor for premieres of complex scores. he has worked with countless internationally renowned orchestras, such as the royal philharmonic orchestra london, the moscow philharmonic symphony orchestra, the george ernescu philharmonic orchestra and as a permanent guest conductor of the sofia philharmonic orchestra, and he has garnered enthusiastic praise from critics and public alike. since 2012 he is the chief conductor of the international danube philharmony. kornienko has been artistic director of the wörthersee classics festival since its foundation in 2000, and strives each year to create a program of the highest quality.
